Upcoming Trainings
System Design & Optimization – 3 Days – December 3-5
This course explores the relationship between the predictive perspective of the MAPP 3D Sound System Design and Prediction Tool and actual sound system performance as measured with FFT‑based transfer‑function analyzers. The instructor will generate and compare data using both tools, in order to help users better understand the correlation between the two. Upon completion of the course, attendees will possess a clearer idea of how sound systems behave in both modeled and real space, and with it, a more informed approach to accurately designing and optimizing systems using Meyer Sound solutions.
SDO is eligible for 18 AVIXA CTS, CTS-D, CTS-I RU.

This interactive workshop develops understanding and knowledge in spatial audio using Spacemap Go, Meyer Sound’s spatial sound design and mixing tool. It includes guiding principles in spatial audio, Spacemap Go operations and workflow, and spatial sound design and mixing.
By the end of the training, participants will understand the guiding principles of spatial audio and system design, how to install a spatial audio system, and how to apply workflow for installing, connecting, designing, and mixing using Spacemap Go. Participants will also learn how to build Spacemaps and trajectories and trigger them with external control using OSC (Open Sound Control) and plug-ins, and they will explore various approaches in mixing spatial audio in a live production environment and installations.
This course is for people who want an introduction to spatial audio, have interest in using Meyer Sound’s Spacemap Go tool in live productions or events, and need to know how to design, use, and maintain these systems.
This workshop is eligible for 3.5 AVIXA CTS, CTS-D, CTS-I RU.
